Hi everyone,
I'm going to replace the single carb shown below with stock dual carbs before the weather gets colder. How much should I be paying for second
hand stock dual carbs with linkages and everything else I need?
TIA!
Purple
where are you, I could be interested in selling my dual carb setup cause i want webers 
I think this is in the wrong area. Maybe should move to buy/sell/swap?

So why do you want to go with twin carbs ? What are you doing with the carb setup you have ? I may be interested. I have a few sets of dual carbs if you want some. Mark
I'm told that in the cold weather I'm going to have a problem with petrol condensing in the really long intake manifolds, giving big gaps in
power. I've only had my Kombi through summer, so I don't know how bad it'll be in winter but I'm already experiencing
flatspotting on cooler mornings and it's only March! The single carb I've got is fine in hot weather (it loved Queensland at Christmas) but
I don't think it'll do the job in Canberra winters, so I want to switch to duals.

Barry -bagnew has mail
wouldn't there be a way of preheating the air utilising some of the standard aircleaner setup?
KombiKim,
I’m not sure if that is enough. If you look at the stock single carb system, it only pre-heats the incoming air a short time at start-up. The long
inlet tube is heated all the time from the exhaust. I’ve also read in the US lists that they had problems with only pre-heating the air in really
cold climates (for a single carb on a type 4 motor).

thanks Andy, it is a shame really, looks like a really good setup otherwise, & you get a lot of room!
No problems. Just passing on what I've read. No first hand experience unfortunately, or is thet fortunately??
